Hey everyone! Life is still super crazy busy and I'm going to have to apologize for not being as regular with the updates as I usually do. Rest assured, I am still checking up on comments and I've been trying to catch up on e-mails so if I haven't gotten back to you please be patient and I will respond as soon as I can!

I was going to upload a video tonight but after two failed attempts and waiting a total of about 2 hours before they errored out, I've decided to just post a quick FOTD and jewelry review instead.

This necklace is something that was NOT sponsored or gifted, but one that I saw Lisa put up in her shop and I freaaaaaaked out about and quickly bought. It's the HQCD Signature Super Nova necklace in Heliotrope and it is drop-dead-frickin-gorgeous! I've never seen anything like it. She literally made the setting using beads since the crystal is a round rivoli stone with no holes in it. (EDIT: Sorry guys, I just saw Lisa's comment about Swarovski discontinuing this particular crystal so she had to pull the listing. :( Hopefully she can make others similarly just as beautiful too!)

Did I mention that Heliotrope Swarovski crystals change colors? In some angles it's a deep purple and in other lights it has flashes of teal blue.

Even the back has a really amazing pattern of beads which keep the crystal solidly in place.

So amazing homg! I've been wearing it really often since I bought it because I wear a lot of purple and navy blue. ^.^

Also wanted to mention that the nailpolish I'm wearing here is one of my favorites, Revlon Peach Petal. It's the perfect pale pinky-peach on my skin and I wore it for 2 weeks! I even wore it twice within two months. That's pretty much a record for me considering the perverted amount of nail polish I own. Here's a better shot of the polish:

I've definitely been digging the orangey colors this summer with Revlon Peach Petal, Mac Seasonal Peach, Eyeko Coral, and a random Maybelline Coral polish I picked up from the dollar tree. Don't worry, I've still been taking pics so a nail post will come soon. ^.~

Alright, going to go play on my new Macbook Pro and see if I can get used to the new video editing program and try to forget about the crazy thunderstorm going on outside. *BOOM, BOOM*

I'm glad you posted the polish b/c I was just about to ask. It looks so creamy and delicate! Maybe I'll buy it and take it to the salon...I can't do my own nails to save my life despite many, many attempts. And isn't it hot where you live? I'm surprised to see a scarf here!

Good luck video editing! Not sure why but imovie is really hard for me to learn. I fared so much better with windows movie editor : P

That necklace is stunning! And I love that it matches your shirt ^.^ What a pretty nail polish color. I'm so glad you mentioned it in your post. ^.^ *wonders how many polishes you think is a perverted amount*

You look so pretty in the first pic~ Wow, the necklace is really unique, I really haven't seen something like that before~

Your nails are so nice, like perfect shape yet not insanely long.

Are you using iMovie? Haha I used it once for a school project and it was soooo annoying trying to drag segments of clips and pictures around >< Mac ftw~ I'm envious of you, it's freaking hot where I live right now and I wiiish it would rain haha

Love the necklace, my eyes popped when i saw how pretty the blue is, considering that i'm more of a green girl :) and i must agree that the handicraft is very delicate. Must have cost a lot?

Love the Skin79 Hot Pink BB cream on you, how is your skin taking it so far,will you be doing a tutorial on it? I'm currently using the Gold BB cream, it is a bit dry on me so i had to hydrate myself properly before application.

As for the nail, yes, like what PAG said, thank goodness you posted about it cuz we're about to ask. It has a very nice shade. Will lookout for it in my nearby counters.

What an adorable necklace! I would never picked out that color for jewelry. What can I say? I am plain :) Love the nail color too. Very cute and simple. Perfect for summer---------------------------------------------Last week to enter my giveaway for a beautiful necklace at PetiteLittleGirl.com
